Roger Goodell makes $44.2 million in last fiscal year

So the owners pay him or who? I don't really understand how he deserves anywhere close to that much money. What a f**ked up system. Do the other commissioners make that much as well?

The NFL scrapes money off the top of network deals, product licensing, etc before distributing money to team owners. Also being a non-profit it has to spend all it takes in, so you end up with highly inflated salaries for executives. In spite of how they project themselves the NFL gives very little to charity.

If we assume he works 40 hours a week all year long, we get 124800 working minutes, which actually comes to a tick over $350 per minute -

Goodell is paid close to a million a week (true). Last I checked, there are 7 days in a week, so a million a week comes to... $140,000 per day. Or if you're only counting Monday through Friday, it's $200,000 per day.

That's quite a waste of money for a guy who wants to ruin the game. Don't hit high, don't hit low, don't hit in the middle too hard, never touch a QB, Super Bowls in the cold, Pro Bowl dog and pony show with Deion and Rice and now a 42 yard extra point......

Can they just leave the game alone? They are ruining the game one by one.
